As I sit here typing this, Liam is whining about not being able to go play with his friends and being very upset about missing his Philharmonic field trip tomorrow and possibly not one, but TWO birthday parties this weekend. Ceana is riding her bike around the house, nose dripping like a hose left on, eyes red and face crusty. Liam has begun crying and is now trying to convince dad that he can go outside with his friends without playing with them, just sitting down and watching. Promising and begging.
Why all the drama? 'Cause they're both sick. Both have viruses - though they have manifest themselves very differently. Liam has had a terribly sore throat for days and seems to have given himself pink eye. He's out of school until his eyes clear up. Ceana popped a 105.7 fever Sunday night and was up until 4AM not eating, not drinking, with horrible chills and having lost her mind (she kept asking to go home - she was lying in our bed). She popped another fever (102.5) yesterday, took a two hour nap, and then her fever broke last night at bedtime. Oh, and she gave herself pink eye too.
Took them both to the doctor today - Ceana's virus gave her an ear infection, which is what caused the terrible fever. She's getting better, but her ear is still red and she's really snotty and has a terrible cough. She's very tired too.
I don't know that I will survive having Liam home too much longer. I'm tired, frustrated, and sick of the whining. The house looks like a bomb exploded. Did I mention that I'm tired? The playroom looks worse. Oh, and I'm exhausted. My only salvation at the moment is the Olympics. If that should fail, then I will succumb. Please pray for my salvation - preferably in the form of a miraculous cure for Liam that will have him back to school ASAP. Over the weekend would be nice too.
